Driveway Drainage and Water Pooling Problems
Has anyone dealt with water collecting near their garage entrance after heavy rain? Our driveway has a slight slope, but the drainage seems to be getting worse every year. I’m wondering whether replacing the existing surface could help solve the problem. Would interlocking pavers be a suitable option for this situation, or are there other things that should be addressed before choosing new paving materials?

Heavy autumn downpours recently started causing annoying puddles right where our car turns into the lower garage parking bay. Wondering if changing the surface material would fix the drainage slope, I researched permeable paving solutions available through https://oakshs.ca/driveway-interlocking/ for expert tips. Properly installed segmental pavers allow water to filter down gradually instead of pooling against the foundation walls, which solved our runoff issue. However, fixing the underlying sub-base and grading correctly was crucial before laying any stones to ensure long-term stability under vehicle loads. Consulting a professional masonry team made all the difference in getting the drainage slope right.
